Hoka Bondi 8 Black/Citrus Glow

Released on 5 September 2023 and part of Hoka's Bondi 8 line. This release has a mesh upper in Black/Citrus Glow. Bondi is the most cushioned road shoe in Hoka's line, the model that takes the founding argument to its logical end. When Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard started the brand in Annecy in 2009, the industry was moving toward minimal and barefoot style shoes, and their response was midsoles two to three times thicker than normal. The Bondi is that response with nothing held back. In Black with Citrus Glow, the eighth version keeps the huge stack visually contained under a dark upper while a sharp citrus accent traces the branding, so the shoe reads serious first and playful second. It is the classic way to buy maximum cushion without wearing maximum colour.
